🚀 RBV Spotlight:

SuperWorld, the AR powered virtual world mapped over the real world, has announced the upcoming launch of its native token $SPWR. As part of the rollout, SuperWorld is opening a limited time whitelist for early supporters to participate in its private presale round, conducted under a Reg D offering with Republic Crypto. Whitelisted users will receive a 20% token discount, early access to platform features, and priority allocation ahead of the public token sale. The whitelist closes June 29, 2025, and participation is granted on a first come, first served basis.

The $SPWR token is a key milestone in SuperWorld’s mission to empower users to create, own, and monetize immersive digital experiences mapped onto physical locations. With virtual real estate, content publishing, and social interactions already built into the platform, the token adds a financial layer to SuperWorld’s creator economy. This launch positions SuperWorld to scale its user owned metaverse infrastructure while rewarding early community members through real utility and network participation.
